Robber flies live in soil or various decaying organic plants. They will refuse to live anywhere else and will eventually die if they cannot find the soil or plants.
Mimicry helps a robber fly survive by allowing it to closely resemble other insects, particularly those that are unpalatable or dangerous to predators, such as wasps and bees. This resemblance deters potential threats, as predators may avoid attacking what they perceive as a harmful insect. Additionally, the mimicry can aid in ambushing prey, as other insects may not recognize the robber fly as a predator. Overall, mimicry enhances both its protection and hunting efficiency.
